Captivating Opening Winners 2016

As always, Stef’s popular contest attracted diverse
and imaginative entries from all genres. Stef would like to stress that if you
didn’t make the final cut it could be because of his bias in genres, even
though he enjoys most of them, and he would like to thank each and every one of
you for participating in his annual contest.

The overall winner of the hotly contested competition
is:

High-Rise Crew: Dirty Money– A cyber crime adventure
novel by Tim Brost. This newly published novel checked all of Stef’s boxes: including
proportion, exposition, plot, diversity of characters, economy and quality of
narrative, and above all reader captivation.

I am so grateful to Stef for this award! Against strong entries like 'Spring-Clean by Proxy' by Robert Bayley, and 'Something Good' by Darlene Deluca, I'm humbled to have been selected for first place. I'm sure Stef would have liked to honor many other entrants as well. Congratulations to all.

Thanks, Tim -- yes, there were many other entrants who kept me entertained over the last few months and deserve to be honored. Good luck to all who enter next year (entrants can re-enter the same or a new novel).
